Lumbar MRI - what does it show?
I thought this may be a good place to ask since many of you have probably had MRIs of the spine. I have pressure in the middle of my back that causes pain, spasms, etc. I believe it may be from a B12 deficiency that has gone undiagnosed. Due to several other symptoms I am having, my Dr decided to send me to a neurologist first. This Dr ordered a MRI on the lumbar spine with no contrast. I'll also be having an EMG in a month.
Can anyone tell me what part of the spine the MRI will show? I know lumbar means lower back but does that mean below the shoulders? Will it show the middle of my back? Thank you so much!
